Vlad,  
  I'd like to know, if the current asoc->peer.retran_path is the only active
  transport in the transport list, whether we should change asoc->peer.retran_path 
  to another inactive one. The sctp_assoc_update_retran_path() won't change to a 
  inactive transport(next one) in this scenario now, is that ok?
